With cooked-on food residue and grease building up every time you use it, if you don't keep on top of it, it can turn into a nightmare task.

But one mum has a two-step hack that deep cleans ovens quickly - and it's only £1.60 the Mirror reports .

Writing on the Mums Who Clean Facebook page, she shared her genius tip - and other parents love it.

She wrote: "I had only cleaned my oven once in nine years! Joined this group a week ago and look what happened."

Sharing her budget cleaning hack, the woman wrote: "I used bicarbonate of soda and vinegar and a nylon scouring pad inside the oven.

You can pick up bicarbonate of soda for just 69p at Asda, and white vinegar spray costs 89p from Warrior Warehouse.

Simple

As well as leaving her formerly filthy door sparkling, the simple acidic solution effectively cleaned the inside while the oven was still warm.

What's more, the woman also soaked her oven racks in the bathtub with a dishwasher tablet to get rid of greasy oil stains.

She shared pictures and other parents on the page were impressed by results.

One replied: "Amazing! Well done! Plus no overpowering oven cleaner required! I hate that stuff - it restricts my breathing."

Two budget-friendly ingredients makes this hack too easy not to try out if you're planning on doing a bit of a spring clean.

Other clever cleaning hacks that have been revealed recently include a miracle £1 spray from The Range to get rid of nasty mould. A mum claims it got rid of some unpleasant mildew from around her windows in minutes.
